Class C Commercial Driver's License
The class C commercial driver's license (CDL) offers a diverse selection of vehicles and trucking jobs. From recreational vehicles and buses to passenger vans, and even hazardous transport vehicles it is one of the most versatile CDLs on the market.

Passenger Vehicles
New York drivers have a wide variety of driver's license classes to choose from. These classes cater to different requirements for driving and different types of vehicles. Understanding the different classes is essential, whether you're looking to drive down Broadway in your parents' 1986 Toyota Corolla, or pilot a truck through the Adirondacks.

The maximum number of passengers that can be transported in a passenger vehicle that has a class C non CDL license is 16 including the driver.

You could also drive school buses, provided that you've got the appropriate endorsements and have passed the background checks as well as the medical tests.
Many states have added rules and regulations for drivers who have this type of license. One of them is to keep a logbook which lists the amount of time you've driven and the type(s) you're carrying.
